Neil Gaiman. The man wrote with what seemed like such empathy and grace and turned out to be an actual monster. Haven’t looked at a single thing he’s made since.

I am very glad the Patriots won this game but I am like 20 percent sure they’re gonna get absolutely boatmurdered in the Super Bowl

Tony Romo just said the Patriots have an advantage on defense because their white jerseys tough to see in the snow and I thought that was ridiculous but then Stidham immediately threw an interception so???

dying at “claudeswarms” imagining consulting a horde of Frenchmen every time I go to the grocery story

I edited a piece my guy @jayjaypost.bsky.social wrote about the 1894 squad. Football was very strange (and deadly) back then www.espn.com/college-foot...

Much like Warhammer 40k, you have to either add or subtract a zero in any number mentioned in Twin Peaks for it to make sense

this stupid sport still gets me a little misty sometimes

These are the icy mountains of Pluto. It took 9 years to get these magnificent images… and 4.8 billion kilometers.

The Bears should send Caleb Williams out there with like weights and blinders on like Harrison Bergeron so whatever witchcraft he uses when making impossible throws is permanently activated

This is a stat line you see from an overmatched sophomore QB facing off against prime Alabama in the natty

“The future cannot come to pass. The witches must live”

One riot, one Reginald

I was this kid. Also into Calvin & Hobbes and Foxtrot to the point where I had a bunch of strips in book form. Calvin & Hobbes is the only one which I've culturally retained long-term

This is about Drake Maye

well done, thou good and faithful servant

Back in college the local late-night coffee place had a stack of print edition Onions which my friends and I would read to one another while howling with laughter. They were formative to my sense of humor and I’m so glad to hold a physical copy of @theonion.com again

This is not a place of honor Fa la la la la, la la la la

Pluribus season finale

CHOTINER: and when you're in water you PARTICLE MAN: don't get wet, that's right. CHOTINER: And this is because PARTICLE MAN: the water gets me instead. It becomes particle-manish CHOTINER: There's been some debate on this point. Triangle Man, for example PARTICLE MAN: I think we're done here

Pluribus is actively hostile to the mystery box format. Big questions are resolved almost immediately, others are pushed aside for legit reasons (“who are the aliens? No idea man they’re too far away”), all in the service of Rhea Seehorn, Karolina Wydra etc. talking. I adore it

Those new to Bsky need to be made aware of one of the greatest skeets ever, deleted long before its time.

There are weeks where decades happen

Hawke could have had a pretty good career just with his baseline talent and the fact that he looks like Ethan Hawke but he constantly challenges himself and gets better in every movie. A real dude

A real weird thing about a lot of modern tech is that there are a bunch of buttons which straight up do not work and there seems to be no rush to fix this!

non-sports celebrities wearing a full kit usually looks incredibly lame but Joan Jett not only pulls it off but still looks insanely cool doing so

What actor’s facial expression in a movie/TV show will stay with you for the rest of your life?

"Nothing on this planet is yours. You cannot give me anything, because all that you have is stolen. You don't belong here." this is the tightest paladin shit anyone has ever said. Manousos is totally Oath of Vengeance

hiding on YouTube is this incredible radio drama about the letter every British prime minister writes to the commanders of their four nuclear submarines, instructing them on whether or not they should retaliate in the event of the total nuclear destruction of the United Kingdom

AGENT. AGENT. REPRESENTATIVE. OPERATOR. AGENT.

The worst karaoke party foul I’ve ever seen was a dude getting up there and singing “Brick” by Ben Folds Five, which is a lengthy (!) down-tempo (!!) song about a specific high school abortion (!!!!!!!). Cleared the whole place out. He might as well have sobbed into the mic for five minutes.

Last year I spent 40+ hours learning how to mod the grinch into bonelabs so I could do this

Perfect Tom Stoppard story from DTel obituary: His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

As soon as he regained his balanced off the first missed tackle I was 100 percent certain he was finding someone downfield for a huge gain

Jim Steinman wrote It's All Coming Back To Me Now for a female singer and literally sued Meat Loaf to prevent him from recording it but I gotta say his version is pretty sick

An adaptation of every Master and Commander novel and every one of John le Carre's George Smiley books

look man, several of the old masters recommend running away when things get too hot. Please do not suggest I have shamed my ancestors here

they're calling him the world's most vindicated man, folks

Why don’t I just feint the coupe on the outside, disengage, and deliver a lockout thrust on the inside all the time? Am I stupid? #hema #longsword #fencing

me: i don’t feel safe with other people. like, any praise in general my brain dismisses it Therapist Who is a Caveman: me see. you am deserve love. we all am. yes. need love survive me: i guess. it’s just hard trying to function when you still got your training wheels on Caveman Therapist: wheel?

was looking to run a D&D campaign I wrote a couple years back and it turns out Google Drive *deleted the whole goddamn thing* at some point. Not gonna lie, this is a bummer!

Lots of problems here: 1. Off-hand in front — asking to get it lopped off 2. Moves body before arms on attack 3. Brings hands back before thrust — huge opposing tempo 4. Lacks extension on thrust 5. Jabs with thrust instead of thrusting through opponent Most beginners I teach fix these quickly

after watching The Pitt and now the first two episodes of Pluribus I am ready to declare that Real-Ass TV Shows are back, baby, they're good again. Awoouu (wolf Howl)

Sometimes I see people like 20 tweets deep into an argument with Grok. Like, what are you doing brother? You are trying to win an argument with a vending machine.

If Mass Effect 3 had ended with “congratulations Shepard for defeating the Reapers, here are a slideshow of how your choices affected things, stay tuned for ME4!” instead of what we got, then we’d be on Mass Effect 8 and Season 3 of a moderately received TV show by now

CHOTINER: you fence Italian-style? ME: that's right Isaac C: but you can't speak Italian ME: now wait, hold on. I can speak *some* Italian C: interesting. Could you describe a stramazzone? ME: uh, I'd have to consult my translation of Fiore C: That’s not in Fiore ME: can we start over?

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."
